The economy of words means that you are able to get a message of words together to produce a clear and concise point of view or statement. I believe an economy of words is words that work together to convey a message which is clear and to the point. Thomas Jefferson once said “The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do”. Successful writers seem to stick to the important details of a message and they leave out words that are less important so that people may focus on the main idea. Having an economy of words is words with meaning that emphasizes on what’s important without repeating yourself to get a message across. Many are distracted with reading memo, emails, and blogs that have too many words with less meaning so its always good to have an economy of words.

You make some very good points about the importance of the economy of words. The use of filler words in writing rarely serve a good purpose and can often distract your reading.
